Top This Elephant Lovey

Meet Jared

I made a little lovey for a friend. My friend Jennifer and her husband Jared had a little boy a few months back. The lovey is basically a knit square and the elephant is fastened to the center of the square. I used a DMC brand "Top This" hat kit but made the lovey instead of a hat. For the knit square, I basically knit a dish cloth where you start at one corner, complete increases so the square grows wider, and then I started the decreases when I had used half of the yarn.

It's all about knitting!

I learned to knit in October 2008, just after I turned 40. My plan is to use site to post photos of my projects... to share with family and friends and anyone else who may stumble across my corner of the World Wide Web. My other hobbies include baking, cooking, crocheting, hiking, & exercising... I often say I have so many hobbies that I have to rotate them! I am sure photos of other things that interest me will find their way on to this site as well. Maybe even a recipe or two... time will only tell!
